5. Procedures
1) Review the previous session
- Last Friday, we learned about two new Cubelet. Can anyone remember the name of this Cubelet (drive
actor)?
- We also learned about this green Cubelet. What did this Cubelet do? (Help other Cubelets keep balance)

2) Explore Cubelets’ movement with a second drive Cubelet.
- How will 2 Drive Cubelets work together? See what they can do.
- How do you make your Cubelets go? (straight/around)

3) Discussion by showing a demonstration
- How did you make Cubelets go straight?
- How did you make Cubelets go around?

4) Allow the children to have a passive, light actor, and two drive Cubelets.

5) Challenges
- Let’s make our Cubelets go to the end of this table.
- Try your Cubelets to move with my directions.

6. Review of Today’s Activity.
- How did we put two drive Cubelets together to make Cubelets go straight/around?
- What sensors and how many of them did we use to make Cubelets move along on these routes?
